Answer 1

You can use the following CSS declaration to blur a background image:
filter: blur(value);
N.B. If you want the <div> to contain other content but you wish to blur only the background image, then apply the background image and the blur to a ::before pseudo-element.
Working Example:
.wpd-page-title {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 180px;
}
.wpd-page-title::before {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url(https://picsum.photos/300/300) no-repeat;
}
.blur-3px::before {
filter: blur(3px);
}
.blur-6px::before {
filter: blur(6px);
}
.blur-9px::before {
filter: blur(9px);
}
<div class="wpd-page-title"></div>
<div class="wpd-page-title blur-3px"></div>
<div class="wpd-page-title blur-6px"></div>
<div class="wpd-page-title blur-9px"></div>

Answer 2

You have two options,
You can take out the "title" from the background parent div and use position absolute property to align it on the background image and apply blur code for the parent div
.testingclass{
filter: blur(5px);
-webkit-filter: blur(5px);
-moz-filter: blur(5px);
-o-filter: blur(5px);
-ms-filter: blur(5px);
}
like following
<div class=" testingclass wpd-page-title wpd-page-title_horiz_align_left wpd-page-title_vert_align_middle" style="background-color:#ffffff;height:80px;color:#222328;margin-bottom:15px;">
</div>
<div class="wpd-page-title__inner">
<div class="container">
<div class="wpd-page-title__content">
<div class="page_title">
<h1>Multilingual Digital Marketing</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Use PSD to make the image Blur, because you cant control the blurred effect to inside elements if you apply blur or opacity to parent
You can notice that, the blur affect is working for the 3 image grid section, because the image and text are separated, and you are using position: absolute for the text div.
